I'm replacing some halogen floodlights with low wattage LED floodlights on the outside of my house.
The floodlights I'm replacing are part of external zone lighting installed by the previous owner.
On an ordinary halogen light the wiring does not matter, however on the LED floodlights the wiring connections are marked blue and brown. Obviously I understand that AC is alternating 2 phase current.
The issue is because the existing lights are installed by previous owner, I have no way of knowing if the colours have been wired correctly on the cable going to existing halogen lights, I'm just trusting that blue is neutral and brown is live.
The Question, when wiring LED AC floodlights how important is wiring the lights the correct way around.
